    I have something to prove now.I will go back to that doctor in 6 months and show her that I have conquered "obesity".

    This, right here. Use it as motivation!! I am finally one pound under obese, now in the overweight category. That weigh in was such a great feeling...you will be so proud and happy! Look forward to that.

    I look forward to the day I am one pound under overweight, snuggled sweetly in my healthy weight happy place!!

    You absolutely can do this!!

    Keep up the positive attitude. Want it for yourself...to be healthy, to achieve a goal or to lose that label! I was very happy with myself at 180 (ish, I didn't own a scale and went with a weight 6 month prior to starting MFP). But I am now even happier with a healthier self. You got this!

    I love your will do attitude!! You will beat this!

    Last September I was 264 pounds at 5'8 and considered morbidly obese!! I have lost 110 pounds and now have a healthy BMI of 23.6!! I know that BMI doesn't mean a lot but it is an amazing feeling to know that I actually have a healthy BMI along with all the other ways that show me I am now healthy!

    I weighed about 220 a year ago and now I'm around 123/125. Just keep going and before you know it you will be significantly smaller :wink:

    I was Onese II. I was obese for so many years. Depressing.

    The day I entered Oberweight, I was so happy!

    I can't wait to enter a normal BMI range!! (And get to the bottoms of that, lol, if I can.)

    It takes a loooong time. Prepare to work hard every day to see minimal results. At first, a lot comes off, then it's slow going.

    Good luck.

    I think it's just something about the word "obese." People think obese = MASSIVE and that's just not always true. I am still obese at "just" 182 pounds. I don't have trouble with mobility or comfort. I wear size 12 jeans. LOL It's just a word with a stigma attached to it.

    I'm obese at a size 6. Go figure. I can't fit in with the plus sized girls and I'm definitely no skinnie minnie either! We need our own club.
